Aww, so true, I could never part with a book like that!
Yes, and yes. I read and loved the book, and I am with Mr. Arnold on this one.
I feel that way about my copy of Atlas Shrugged.
An unloved book is a travesty.
I grew up in a bookstore, and can remember occasions when my dad and I would go to a sellers house to look at a group of books and the seller would say something like: These boxes right here only…Stay away from the shelf!
